Origin
When Odin decides to hold the Tournament of Titans, it requires mighty warriors to participate in the event. A team of brothers, the Warriors of the Thousand Galaxies join the tournament to test themselves. Consisting of the strong and large
Brok the Crusher, the small but powerful
Drom the Spirit Weaver, the swordsman
Tyr of the Blinding Blade, and the mace fighter
Galp of the Steel Arm. The brothers start a brawl in an
Asgardian tavern and proceed to mock the Asgardians, however they would find themselves face to face with the
Warriors Three and
Thor after that incident, their official opponents at the Tournament of the Titans. After a small scuffle they decide to wait until the tournament to settle things, however on the day of the Tournament the devastating Destroyer armor attacks all the combatants, the two teams of warriors joining forces with
Odin to bring the living armor down. During the tournament, Brok challenged Thor as he was the strongest, Tyr dueled with
Fandral, as both were sword masters. Galp challenged
Hogun, as both bore lethal mace clubs. Which left Drom and Volstagg to do battle.
Creation
The Warriors of the Thousand Galaxies are a
Marvel comic book team created by
Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and
Vince Colletta. The team first appear in
Thor Annual #2 released in 1966. The team possess parallel similarities with the Warriors Three, naturally given they were essentially created to act as a foe for each character, specifically Galp for Hogun, Tyr for Fandral and Drom for Volstagg. It should be noted that the Tyr here is not in anyway associated with the Asgardian war god
Tyr.
